HBV-DNA Detection in HBsAg Negative Blood Donors and Its Clinical Significance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE Through detecting hepatitis B virus markers and hepatitis B virus DNA,to probe into the significance of HBV-DNA detection in HBsAg negative blood donors for blood transfusion safety.METHODS ELISA was used for detecting hepatitis B virus markers,and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay was introduced for measuring HBV-DNA.RESULTS Totally 1 698 samples from HBsAg negative blood donors were examined,the positive rate of HBV-DNA was 2.71%.The rate of the HBsAb positive and HBcAb positive group,the HBsAb positive,HBeAb positive and HBcAb positive group,the HBcAb positive group,the HBeAb positive and HBcAb positive group,the HBsAb positive group and the all hepatitis B virus markers negative group were 5.71%,3.60%,6.60%,2.77%,38.48% and 46.94%,respectively.The positive rate of HBV-DNA in these groups were 7.22%,8.20%,4.46%,8.51%,1.21% and 2.26%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS It′s very important for blood transfusion safety to detect HBV-DNA in HBsAg negative blood donors.The more economic,reasonable and effective detecting method should be developed for blood transfusion safety.
